Luke 8:26 ” Then they sailed to the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.”
As we see in the passage following, Jesus had a very specific ministry to this group of people. Indeed the Gadarenes serve as an example of how the whole world is with Christ. He comes to their area and does something that absolutely nobody else can do. And then He is pushed away. People are not sure what to do with Him, and so they let fear override and push Him out.
Heavenly Father, help us not to serve fear, but love and truth. Give us a mind and heart full of Your Spirit! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
